"What are Christians to make of their mission in an pluralistic
world?" asks Paul F. Knitter, author of the landmark work in
interfaith dialogue No Other Name? As a recognized scholar and
participant in interfaith dialogue, Knitter is in a unique position
to explore the key concept of what Christian mission must entail in
a world that will remain a world of many religious faiths for the
foreseeable future. From the first chapter of Jesus and the Other
Names, which recounts his own theological and dialogical odyssey,
Knitter constructs what he calls a "correlational,
globally-responsible theology of religions" as a necessary
correction to traditional pluralist and exclusivist approaches. By
anticipating and addressing his critics - both conservative and
liberal - Knitter makes a powerful argument for a reconstruction of
mission faithful to the Christian imperative and dynamically
attuned to the plurality of the world. Jesus and the Other Names
will give pause to those who believe Christian mission can be
carried on as it was in the modern era. Sure to inspire debate as
well as dialogue it offers a more humble, but perhaps more
"Christic", postmodern approach to mission in the new millennium
that has little to do with earthly glory and nothing to do with the
sense of cultural superiority that has so often - and often so
tragicallyaccompanied modern missionary movements. Theologians,
missiologists, Christian historians, can all benefit from its
thoughtful and timely message.
This text provides a reference on the early 1990s state of the art
in this field covering topics such as physics, chemistry,
toxicology and human behaviour. It contains nearly 100 scientific
papers on all aspects of the subject. Many papers are included
which illustrate the early 1990s state of development in the
mathematical modelling of fire phenomena using computing.

This is the story of a shy young man who finds it difficult when it
comes to meeting girls. When by chance he meets a girl while
visiting a friend, they fall in love and marry and set out on
life's journey, enjoying a wonderful life together. His new wife is
a career woman who soon rises to the top of her chosen profession;
the young man takes a little longer but finally finds his niche and
enjoys a career in the world of computing. But as luck would have
it, he is made redundant at an early age. Unable to find new
employment his wife suggests that her husband takes the opportunity
to take up writing; something he had always wanted to do since his
school days. Through hard work he is successful in his new career;
but fate soon steps in to shatter his world; life was going to be
very different for him.

In the years after invading Iraq and Afghanistan, the US military
realized that it had a problem: How does a military force set the
economic conditions for security success? This problem was
certainly not novel-the military had confronted it before in such
diverse locations as Grenada, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo. The scale
and complexity of the problem, however, were unlike anything
military planners had confronted beforehand. This was especially
the case in Iraq, where some commentators expected oil production
to drive reconstruction. When the fragile state of Iraq's
infrastructure and a rapidly deteriorating security situation
prevented this from happening, the problem became even more vexing:
Should a military force focus on security first, or the economy?
How can it do both? This is the challenge of Stability Economics.
This volume on Stability Economics begins to fill the gap that
expeditionary economics did not: the operational details. What is
the theoretical relationship between economics and security? What
strategic, political, and environmental contexts do military
planners need to consider in order to write economic development
lines of effort into operations? At what point do economic
development efforts pass from being necessary to achieve the
security mission to being humanitarian aid mission creep? Stability
Economics also puts the CERP effectiveness and force structure
debates into their proper operational context. With respect to CERP
effectiveness and money as a weapon system, Stability Economics
recognizes that setting the economic conditions for security
success entails more than targeting money effectively; it also
entails a thorough appreciation of the social, political, and
geographic conditions of the fight in which a military unit is
engaged. In fact, armed with a robust theory of how economies grow
in turbulent post-conflict environments, commanders could recognize
that there are times when it is actually better to not spend money.
By broadening the theoretical aperture, Stability Economics gives
commanders and planners the perspective they need set the economic
conditions for security success. It is about more than spending
money. It is about understanding the unique characteristics of
post-conflict economies.
